Good strategy of PD to never say anything about what they are actually doing over there. Gives the fans a reason to fantasize about all the excuses for their delays and mostly it always involves either greatness on their part, or external factors for the blame.
I was expecting something for 1 year anniv.
Not that I'm mad but it's weird. Not even a blog post ?
Communication is hard.
I know you could race karts against cars in GT5 - I did a few of the Seasonals in one.
I swear next years racing games (simulation racing games mind you) are going to bite KAZ in the 🤬 so hard I won't even feel sorry for him, and I'm sure everybody knows what these two racing games are.
That's essentially the route that Assetto Corsa took, allowing early access to a barebones game. I paid $23 for access to 30 some official cars and a dozen official tracks and more free modding content than I can count and it was worth every penny. The game isn't finished by any stretch but driving experience itself is worth it.
Wow, that sounds great, which is kinda what I'm thinking could be best for Polyphony Digital if they want to keep releasing their titles before being complete. They should definitely follow the Assetto Corsa route.
That probably wouldn't have worked, at least not a direct port of the GT5 course maker mostly because they reworked everything, re-coded the game to optimise for updates - so I don't think the GT5 components would have worked with the GT6 ones.
With modding being allowed in the game virtually anything is possible. I already have 3 Porsches in my garage and a probably a dozen awesome tracks I've never heard of that are great fun to drive along with many of the old standby's you see in many games. One of the community mods (AC Cobra) was so good it became an official part of the game when they released the 1.0 Release Candidate version! Someone even made an awesome Evel Knievel livery for it
Oh, okay then; so there would be no chance of a GT game being released as such unless they went PC. Darn.
Oh, darn...
Darn, I forgot that PD advertised that some of the features would be there at launch. Anyway, I think I get it now. It's more of the fact that they're features they talked about as if they would be there at launch when they weren't, in which is a big "no no" when selling a game. In a summary; Polyphony is being misleading and unfair to their costumers. Thanks for the explanation.
I was talking mainly about early access games on PC where everyone knows that they full game may never arrive or at least they should know. That's not the same as this situation of paying full price for a full game and not getting all the features you paid for a year after release which should be shouted about from the treetops so it doesn't happen again. I think there are consequences to these actions and I think PD's sales results with GT6 are reflective of a poor product and the long delay in finishing the game. I've already purchased a gaming PC but even if I didn't, I would have just purchased a PS4 for Project Cars and likely not have picked up GT7 until it hit the bargain bin as a game to waste time with. As it stands now, GT7 will not likely see my money at all and that's a direct consequence of the lack of support for my Logitech wheel and the substandard product that is GT6. I know many others that have made the same decision.
It's a common feeling, especially among those that switch to PC gaming where cars feel dramatically different depending on the era the come from, tire models, type of car etc. I played GT5 extensively and GT6 quite a bit as well, and after a while a great many of the cars tend to feel like slightly different versions of each other. The differences just aren't dramatic enough IMO.
Agreed I've only been driving with a wheel for 1 day and I can already tell that they all feel the same. I think that's why GT academy drivers have problems. There's no feeling to the car. I can tell that it really helps in terms of deciding your steering input but something seems to be missing.
like the rest of the game.
